The Good the bad the ugly.

So it is great fun in the virtual communities.  You can dance, socialize, create a businesses, and even develop relationships like online dating but I don't recomend it cause you have no idea who is behind that avatar and some are married in real life. 
So I am in Second Life and in a couple of virtual opensim worlds.  HeartSong is on the Haven Grid "thehavengrid.outworldz.net:9002:HeartSong"
and in Osgrid "hg.osgrid.org:80:Lbsa Plaza" (look for HeartSong on map).
Haven is a fairly new grid compared to Osgrid.  The wonderful thing about opensim is that everything is free to copy (with the exception of a few grids).   Many of the creative people from Second life are also in the Opensim worlds and have brought their creations. I have found many items that I purchased in Second Life for free in the Opensim worlds. 
One of the disadvantages of Opensim is that some of the grids are not stable.  Recently I couldn't get into the HeartSong region in Osgrid.  The owner stated they couldn't fix it and therefore I lost all my property. I was given a new region and free time. 


Luckily I have a copy of mostly evrything in my inventory but I have to start from scratch.  I was bothered that I had to create the region again but it gives me a chance to rethink the design of the HeartSong setup.  It's still fun.

So here we go. I  (Bonnie)  am a resident ( term used when you play the game ) of Second Life ( SL which is a very large virtual world ) and Opensim ( which is many smaller Virtual Worlds owned by individuals ).  I've been in Second Life  (SL)  since 2007.  Curiosity was the culprit that caused me to enter SL.  I went to concerts where there were real people singing into the virtual worlds through an avatar.  I went to Dances where there were real people DJing through an avatar.  It was fun.  I enjoy Country Music and met some of my first virtual friends ( Drearstluv & Jodi ) at a bull riding contest. It was hilarious fun with them. Excellent sense of humor.  I am also a Christian and therefore I searched for Christian Clubs and activities,  ( finding 3 groups ).   I  realized this community consisted of people from around the world...WOW!!! Next I will tell you what and where.

AS MENTIONED EARLIER, I began to look for Christian groups and/or activities.   I found a Christian group that had games and Dances, a second one was a community that also had some Dances and finally I found a park.  The group "Eternal Life" was a sim¹ owned by a male named "Sonic". There were often games or Dances, while streaming Contemporary Christian music. I also met a female - "1Way" who owned a park. I was sitting at a small cafe counter in her park. This was actually the first Christian place I found. I met 1Way when someone dressed in a white robe with an upside down cross on his back walked by.  Not realizing that someone was near chat distance I commented in chat " That is one sick puppy " and to my surprise she responded in agreement lol.  That was my first Oops moment.  We became friends on that day.  Then the third location I found was the "WOW" sim, owned by Maggie.  "WOW" stands for WithOutWalls.  This was mor...

So I am not a dancer and there are so many things I don't know how to  do. Also so many things I can't afford to do.  Right now our activities are limited due to diseases (COVID)  around the world. In the Virtual Worlds activities can be unlimited.  You can do things you can't in the real world.  Like Dancing... We can also pick up our dream car...                    Lamborghini   We can Dance in Outer Space... I have gone bowling... Even participated in bull riding Seriously, how many of you reading this have even been near a bull in real life.....not me.                                             (searching for ✋)  There are many people with disabilities that enjoy the Virtual world where no o...
